Windows Mobile Marketplace, la fel de restrictiv ca si App Store

Faptul ca Appstore, magazinul online prin care Apple vinde aplicatiile pentru telefonul mobil s-a bucurat de un succes enorm a determinat concurenta sa reactioneze. Microsoft a lansat Windows Mobile Marketplace, un magazin online de unde se pot cumpara aplicatii pentru telefoanele cu Windows Mobile.

Greseala facuta de cei de la Apple este ca restrictioneaza comercializarea unor aplicatii care ar afecta vanzarea softurilor lansate de ei. Microsoft face acelasi lucru, restrictionand comercializarea a numeroase aplicatii ce au legatura cu sistemul de operare si nu numai:

1. Applications that are or distribute alternate marketplaces for content types (applications, games, themes etc.) that are sold or otherwise distributed through Windows® Marketplace for Mobile.

2. Applications that link to, incent users to download, or otherwise promote alternate marketplaces for content types that are sold or otherwise distributed through Windows Marketplace for Mobile.

3. Applications that promote or link users to a website, or contain functionality within the application itself, which encourages or requires the user to purchase or pay to upgrade the application outside of Windows® Marketplace for Mobile.

4. Applications that enable VoIP (Voice over IP) services over a mobile operator network.

5. Applications that sell, link to, or otherwise promote mobile voice plans.

6. Applications that display advertising that does not meet the Microsoft Advertising Creative Acceptance Policy Guide http://advertising.microsoft.com/creative-specs.

7. Applications that replace, remove or modify the default dialer, SMS, or MMS interface.

8. Applications that change the default browser, search client, or media player on the device.

9. Applications with an OTA (over the air) download >10 MB.

10. Applications that run code outside Microsoft runtimes (native, managed, and widgets)

11. Applications that publish a user’s location information to any other person without first having received the user’s express permission (opt-in) to do so, and that do not provide the user a means of opting out of having their location information published.

12. Applications that publish a user’s data from their mobile device to any other person without first having received the user’s express permission (opt-in) to do so, and that do not provide the user a means of opting out of having their data published. A “user’s data” includes, without limit, contacts, photos, SMS or other text communication, browsing history, location information, and other data either stored on the mobile device or stored in the “cloud” but accessible from the mobile device.

Stiu, incearca sa isi pastreze cota de piata, sa isi vanda propriile aplicatii, dar totusi, aplicatiile restrictionate de ei exista, si lumea le va descarca din alta parte, atat timp cat ele sunt mai bune decat oferta Microsoft.

Folosesc un HTC cu Windows Mobile 6.0, deci vorbesc din experienta. Am inlocuit calendarul standard, aplicatia pentru agenda telefonica cu PhonEX, folosesc SPB Mobile Shell 3.0 in loc de interfata standard, pentru muzica am o alta aplicatie….

Windows Mobile e bun doar ca punct de plecare pentru a instala aplicatii mai performante decat cele initiale , iar limitarea utilizatorilor nu face decat sa afecteze imaginea Microsoft. Just my 2 cents!

Tudor, ne oferi niste detalii din interior?

  1. Redau exact ce mi-a scris colegul meu Ionuț, responsabil cu zona de mobility:
    –          restrictionarea se refera doar la aplicatiile publicate pe Marletplace [portalul Microsoft online si aplicatia de telefon]
    –          spre deosebire de Apple, Microsoft are un set clar de 12 reguli pt certificare, dezvoltatorii stiind dinainte ce au de facut pt a le fi acceptate aplicatiile
    –          spre deosebire de iPhone, telefoanele Windows Mobile au o platform deschisa, nefiind nevoie de deblocare soft/jailbreak pt instalare aplicatii necertificate
    –          certificarea sub regulile Marketplace garanteaza ca acele aplicatii functioneaza sigur pe telefonul tau WinMo, putand obtine si refund in caz contrar sau daca esti nemultumit
    –          orice dezvoltator e liber sa-si publice pe alte site-uri aplicatiile [gratuite sau contra-cost], care nu sunt conforme regulilor de Marketplace – aceste aplicatii pot functiona  pe device-uri WinMo, dar fara garantia MS
    –          dezvoltatorii care doresc insa acces la clienti prin intermediul clientului de Markeplace preinstalat pe mobilele WinMo 6.5 si promovare pe site-ul Microsoft, trebuie sa respecte regulile de conformitate
